Niner Empire Southern Chapter Meet and Greet

Ladies of the Empire had the honor and privilege to join the 3rd annual Niner Empire Southern Chapter Meet and Greet in New Orleans. 22 Chapters were represented, with over 250 attendees from 25 states (including Hawaii).

This unforgettable weekend was hosted by the Mississippi Niner Empire, the New Orleans Empire and the Rouge and Gold Empire of Baton Rouge. The 3 day celebration included parties, pool parties, meet and greets, and a Bourbon Street Niner Takeover.

From the moment we landed, we were greeted with so muchkindness and generosity. New Orleans is a wonderful city! People love the NINERS everywhere and it’s the best feeling to run into an empire brother or sister in a foreign city and feel the love immediately. We connected with so many amazing people who instantly became our family. This is an event that I look forward to every year and already have my calendar marked for next year’s event in Tampa. We hope to see you there!

On Sunday, July 30th, The 49ers opened up their training camp to selected invited guests and LOTE was invited to view from the VIP deck. Since the practice was closed, we couldn’t take many photos, but believe us the team looks solid. We walked away feeling very excited about the season ahead. Go NINERS!!!

After struggling with personal issues in June 2014, Lisa Ramirez, decided it was time to start looking forward and began searching for her next project. The only requirement was that it needed to be fun.

What could be more fun than selling jewelry? She found Chloe + Isabel, a jewelry merchandising company who is “dedicated to empowering women by combining our unique opportunity with cutting-edge tools + training”. Finding a company that was aligned with Lisa’s values and offered stunning, great quality products was a blessing. Within 6 months, she earned a coveted feature in the company’s catalog and hasn’t looked back since. Her URL is www.LisasBLING.com

As with anything, there are challenges. Her biggest challenges are time-management and finding a balance between a full-time job, her passion to sell jewelry, family, friends, community and her own needs. She has learned the art of compromising.

Lisa makes it a point to donate to the community by donating 6 statement pieces a year to organizations like the Antioch Animal Shelter, The Fil-American Cultural Organization, Mamas Night Out Pediatric Cancer, and LOTE. She also hosts fundraising events where 100% of her commission is donated to a charity such as St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, Ronald McDonald House, and Safe Haven Animal Rescue.

When asked what lessons she’d like to share, she said “Don’t limit your potential. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Keep challenging yourself. Oh, and learn from your (and others’) mistakes.”

On May 25, 2017, Ladies of the Empire attended Ohlone College’s Scholarship Awards Reception where 117 students received over $230,000 in scholarship money, with LOTE at the forefront, giving a scholarship to a new student, a transferring student and a continuing student.

LOTE proudly met the recipients that we selected. Each of them subtlety demonstrating the very reason why we selected them. Luis being the first in his family to go to college, was joined by his proud mother Olivia. Samir who embodies the entrepreneurial spirit informed us he’ll be going to school over the summer and Megan, an activist majoring in Anthropology, expressed her deep gratitude to LOTE and its donors in a kind and authentic way.

Additionally, 2017 is Ohlone’s 50th anniversary. To celebrate, they awarded 50 full-ride scholarships, meaning 2 years of tuition, books and fees are entirely paid, to deserving students from local high schools. Ladies of the Empire was proud to sponsor 5 of those students, all who graduated from Washington High School and plan to attend Ohlone College in the fall.

Our recipients want to send a message to our donors, thanking each of you from the bottom of their hearts for supporting their dreams of going to college. LOTE knows these scholarships transform the lives of the recipients; we also thank you for your continued support and donations.
